Passenger Train Goes Through a
Bridge in Missouri

ST. LOUIS, March THE south
bound Texas express on the Iron
Mountain Railroad ran into washed
out trest!e few miles south of fDeSoto,
Mo-, about midnight Saturday night.
The train consisted of two baggage
and one express car, one smoking car,
two first-class coaches and four Sleep
ers, and carried in all 130 passengers.
The Memphis express had preceded
the unlucky train only haf hour
previous and passed over safely. The
train which went through the trestlc
was running at the usual rate fspeed,
and there was no warning to the near
approach 10 danger. The structure
gave way under the weight of the
train, and the engine, tender, two bag
gage cars, express car and smoker
plunged downward into tho roaring
flood beneath. The storm had been
sudden and heavy, and the waters
came down the hills into the creek al
most as If they were released torrent
from a reservoir. The volume of
water had wonderfully increased
within the few minutes intervening
between the passage of the two trains.
The smoker had in it about thirty pas
sengers, who found themselves pre-
cipitated into the rushing waters. The
scene is described as a horrible one.
Men were clinging for their lives to
trees over the submerged bottom,
the horror of the wreck be-
ing supplemented by that of drowning.
A relief train went out from the city
and the work of rescuing was at once
begun. Many men were rescued from
small tree tops, TO which they had
clung for hours.
A full list of casualties cannot be
obtained now. Aside from Henry
Byron. of jamestown, y. Y. who was
found drowned in the smoker, and
Byrnes, brakeman, who had his foot
dislocated, no one others than those
mentioned were seriously Injured.

The Mexican Outrage Atoned for.

NoGALEs, Ari,, March Gov. Ter
rez, of Sonora, Mex, and staff, ac-
companied by Col. Ar 5iza, arrived
Yesterday from Hermosllo. Gov. Tor
rez, OH learning the particulars of the
affair of last Thursday, censured the
Mexican consul, Senor Lobadie, in
measured terms for not delivering
Lieut.. ;nittcrez, who led the soldiers
IN The attacE on the Americans. TO the
American authorities Immediately.
Col. Arvijh, in order to clear himself
stated to the governor that
the Americans were in fault, where
upon the governor said: The Amer
leans were not in fault. They were
not in Mexico fighting you. What
business had your soldiers in the
United States, armed and lighting the
United States authorities" Gov. Tor
rez is highly indignant at the action of
the local Mexican authorities. Upon
learning that Senor Vanqucz, chief OF
the Mexican police, had been dis
charged for refusing TO take hand
against the Americans, he Immediately
reinstated him. lie was ordered to
take a force of men to secure Lieut..
Guilterez and turn him over to the
United States authorities. The chief

Sad Accident to Young wife.

AUSTIN. March saturday even-
ing a young married woman, Mrs.
Thomas b anton, daughter of William
Dunston, living nine miles east of Aus
tin, either shot herself, most probably
accidentally, or was shot and killed by
some unknown party. Mr.. Blanton's
house wins upon the top of a hill in
view OF which he was plowing in the
field 400 or 500 yards of. lie heard
the pistol report, but as Mr.. johnson
was accustomed to shooting hawks he
thought nothing of it until her little
sister, who was coming to the house,
found her dead and gave the alarm,
She was found shot through the head.
and the presumption is that she shot
herself accidentally as no one was.seen
to escape from the premises to pro-
duce a suspicion of murder. She was
but 20 years old, and was married to

Prosperous Counties Added TO the
Tax Relief Bill.

AUSTIN, March The counties in
cluded in the bill postponing taxes, con-
sidercd in the house Sat, rday after
noon, are Montague, Clay, Wise, Jack,
Young, Wichita, Wilbarger, ARCHER,
Knox, Baylor and Hardeman. The
counties of Bosque, Hood, Somervell,
Erath, Hamilton, Caldwell, Guada-
lupe, Tarrant, Jackson, Victoria. De-
Witt, Calhoun, Goliad, Refugio, Aran-
sas, Medina, Edwards, Maverick, Kin
ney, Uvaldc, Dimmitt, Frio, Valverde
and BeXar were added. Then the great
dry West. and the cyclone-strickcn
Southwest came forward and asked
10 be included. IL became evident
when Mr.. Steele proposed Frecstone,
McLennan and Limestone that there
was a systematic movement to kill the
bill by amendments. The members
from the drouth districts pleaded tor
extension, but the bill was gradually
extending over counties in Middle and
Southeast Texas. As the bill grew in
size its friends became very anxious.
They were awfully wrought up. They
showed the house the grinding pow
erty of the people, and yet a large ele-
ment in the house opened their hearts
and kept weighing the bill
down with great rich counties
The bill then passed TO engrossment
and finally goes to the senate. If about
n third of the taxes of the State are
not to be collected until November,
the cash balance will hit the ground,
so the bill must be trimmed and shorn
of rich counties by the senate or the
governor will have to look treasury
bankruptcy in the face squarcly, or
sharpen his veto hatchct and horgify
the poor people of the west whose
homestcads must go for takes.

The accompanying cut shows the por-
ton of the wall of st. George Hotel
which fell in. The first two stories of
the Variety Theater wall upon which
the higher stories Of the hotel were
built. The front and rear walls of
the theater are still standing.
Mr.. Gill, a contractor, was at once
engaged to do whatever was necessary
to make the hotel perfectly safe, which
he did, temporarily, yesterday, by
placing number of upright posts
along the entire length of the wall in
the bar room, which he considers en-
tirely safe. The theater building
is a total wreck, except the front
wall. From within a few
feet of the front wall to the rear it is
a helpless wreck and cannot be repair
ed, even if the authorities permitted
il. The entire ruins will have to be
removed and an entirely new building
erected.
1t was fortunate that it happened on
Sunday morning. for the theater on
other nights is in full blast all night,
and the destruction of lives would
have been frightful. Scarcely any one
would have escaped. Ordinarily there
would have been fire or gas burning,
ana in that event there would have
been holocaust such as Dallas 1t is
hoped win never witness. The rigid

VARIETY THEATER WRECK.
The East Wall OF the st. George Hotel
Falls and Crashes Through the
Theater's Roof

Between 4 and 5 o'clock Sunday
morning the major part of the east
wall of the st. George Hotel fell,
crashing throug'. the roof of the vari-
ETY. theater. The st. George is four
story building and the variety is two
low stories, and when the wall started
It came altogether in one great crash,
and the variety theater having been
previously conde mned, the wall and
roof sank beneath the stroke and the
weight of brick and mortar like the
cracking of reeds before tornado.
Two clerks sleeping over the store OF
p. p. Martinez, which is next door to
the theatcr, heard a creaking, cracking
noise, which alarmed them. They got
up, dressed aid were going down
their stairway when the final crash
came. 1t is supposed that the earth
became softened under the wall of the
theater and gave way, the same wall
that had been condemned by the city
authorities, which in falling started
the wall of the st. George Hotel, aid
ing that to fall. The crash made
fright1ul noise. A negro boy was
sleeping in the bar room OF the 81.
George l. otel at the time, but was not
injured. In several places in this room
the lathes and rlastering is stripped
off. The bar fixtures we're sent flying
over the room, and greatly damaged.
Guests who were sleeping in the rooms
Oh that side of the house were aroused
but seemed to take in the situation,
and there was no stampede. They were
given rooms on the other side of the
building where there was perfect safe
ty. No other part of the hotel was
shaken or in the least damaged.
